Reading DPS and PVD files without hardware?

I have a large collection of old Velocity DPS and Perception PVD media files but no longer have the associated hardware anymore. There used to be a software codec available for download that would allow you to read these formats in windows via an AVI layer, but I can't find anything recent that would work under Windows 7. Eyeon Fusion (which I own) still lists these formats as supported types so I was wondering if there is a way to enable support for them without having a Velocity or Perception card installed.

IVS sells DPS I/O plugins to continte to work with DPS and DVA files in Fusion (32/64bit), After Effects CS (4/5/6) and Windows Media Player also under Windows 8. Please visit http://www.ivs.it for any additional detail.

This software is $90, correct? How long does it take to receive the dongle for customers in the US? What are the limitations? Is there a refund available if it doesn't work on my system? Does it support Premiere Pro CS6?

Radu,

I've been searching the Harris support site but cannot find any drivers that mention anything later than Windows XP. Do you have a direct link by chance?

Hi Mitch,
I think shipping is not a problem, there is a reseller in the United States, hdnle.com that could provide you with a dongle. I think the refund is possible (but you'd have to talk with Bill) but I see no reason why it should not work on your system.
The plugins are designed to support After Effects (CS6 too) and Fusion 6.x, and although Premiere Pro is not supported, if you need an NLE for dps/dva files you can ask to your reseller to get a free ivsEdits trial (up to 90 days) on that dongle. The trial has no limitations of any kind, you can use it for your business too.

Hope it helps,

Roberto

Robert, I have a really old system with perception video recorder in it. I haven't tried booting it in about 10 years and of course the system fails to even start up.

Do you have a product that I can just pull the drive connected to the DPS out and plug it in so I can copy off and convert the files?

The PVR itself is probably fine, but is so old I don't have a system to put it in that would work, much less the drivers for it anymore. I just want the data off of it, even if it is just copying all the TGA files as frame sequences.
